Another model of democracy, deliberative democracy, contends that the answer to this question is no. Participatory media are not sufficient to create democratic media. What is missing from the participatory model of democracy is the notion of deliberation. Deliberation is more than simply participating in public communication and discourse; it is a special and important way of participating. Philosopher Michael Walzer (1999, p. 58) defined deliberation as a particular way of thinking: quiet, reflective, open to a wide range of evidence, respectful of different views.

It is said that the new media have created a “democratic media” movement, where citizens are no longer passive consumers of news but actively help to shape the news and public discussion.

Of course, there are good and bad uses of the new media.

Freedom to publish was over-emphasized when it was made the sole principle of journalism, always trumping other values. A. Ward It was over-emphasized when journalists could use libertarian ideas to ignore other social values such as providing objective information, minimizing the harm of reporting, and representing social groups fairly.
